ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1) CHECK WHETHER THE INTERRED PIPE IS PLUMB DOWN AND WELL DIMENSIONED
TO HOLD THE CYLINDER.

2) INSERT THE CYLINDER IN THE HOLE, WITH RESPECT TO THE WISHED “B”
DIMENSION, HOLDING IT PROPERLY.

3) CHECK, USING A SPRIT LEVEL, THE RIGHT CENTERING OF THE CYLINDER AXLE
WITH RESPECT TO THE GUIDES.

4) CATCH FROM ROD HEAD THE PROJECTING NYLON WIRE AND FIX IT TO THE
UPPER-STROKE SIDE OF THE EQUIPMENT, SO THAT IT RESULTS EQUIDISTANT
FROM THE GUIDES AND ON THE RAM AXLE.

5) CHECK WHETHER THE NYLON WIRE IS RIGHT CENTRED WITH RESPECT TO THE
HOLE IT’S COMING FROM, SHOULD THAT NOT BE THE CASE, WORK ON THE
CYLINDER TO ADJUST ITS PERPENDICULARITY (SEE DRAWING ON SHEET N.
9320/1)

NOTE:
DUE TO PARTICULAR REASONS, THE CYLINDER CAN BE MOVED FROM THE IDEAL
CENTRE OF 10 cm. IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

6) AFTER CYLINDER LEVELING, THE BOTTOM OF THE HOLDER MUST BE FIXED WITH
CEMENT OR WITH ADDITIONAL PLATES, SO THAT THE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS
WON’T BEAR THE LOAD, THEN NUT AND COUNTER-NUT MUST BE BLOCKED
(WHEN USING CEMENT WORK ONLY WHEN IT’S SOLIDIFICATED.

WHEN ASSEMBLY’S COMPLETED, CHECK:

- WHETHER THE RAM SURFACE IS CLEAN, RULINGLESS, RUSTLESS,

SCRATCHLESS ETC.

- WHETHER THE SEALS HAVE NO OIL LEAKAGES (SEE FOR EVENTUAL CHANGE).

- WHETHER THE OIL RECUPERATOR IS FUNCTIONAL.

THREADS SCREW TIGHTLY (WITHOUT REST), VERIFYING THE PERFECT SEALING
(WITH LIGHT STRENGTH), UNSCREW BY 90° IN ORDER TO GIVE TH E FINAL RAPID
TIGHTENING, USING THE TIE USING BOTH HANDS. MAKE SURE THAT JUNCTION-
DRAWN REFERENCE LINES ARE PERFECTLY ALIGNED TO ENSURE FULL TIGTHENING.
